Your Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Perfect BIBS Pacifier
Parenthood is an incredible journey filled with joy, love, and sometimes, uncertainty—especially when it comes to choosing the right products for your baby. At Kaliedy, we’re here to support you every step of the way, helping you find the best pacifier to soothe and comfort your little one.
Why Do Babies Need Pacifiers?
From the moment they’re born, babies have a natural sucking reflex. This instinct not only helps them feed but also provides comfort, reminding them of the safety and familiarity of the womb. A pacifier can be a powerful tool for soothing your baby, offering a range of benefits:
- Calming Effect: Pacifiers help soothe and calm babies, often helping them fall asleep faster.
- Stress Reduction: They can lower heart rate, blood pressure, and stress levels in infants.
- Pain Relief: Pacifiers can provide a pain-relieving effect, offering comfort during teething or minor discomforts.
- Security: When babies get upset, a pacifier can provide the security they need.
- SIDS Prevention: Using a pacifier has been linked to a reduced risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)*.
Choosing the Right BIBS Pacifier: Understanding Different Nipple Types
Every baby is unique, with different preferences and needs when it comes to pacifiers. That’s why BIBS offers a range of pacifiers designed to cater to these individual needs. Here’s a guide to help you choose the perfect one:
1. Round Nipple The round nipple closely resembles a mother’s breast, promoting a similar sucking technique. This nipple shape allows the tongue to elevate and cup around the nipple, making it a great option for breastfed babies.
Popular Round Nipple Pacifiers:
- BIBS Colour: A classic choice, available in natural rubber latex in sizes 1, 2, and 3. The shield curves away from the baby’s face, preventing moisture build-up.
- BIBS Boheme: Inspired by bohemian style, this pacifier is available in natural rubber latex in sizes 1 and 2.
- BIBS De Lux: A modern design with an enlarged front, perfect for adding a name for daycare use. Available in natural rubber latex (sizes 1 and 2) and silicone (OneSize).
2. Symmetrical Nipple The symmetrical, flat-drop-shaped nipple is ideal for babies who prefer a flatter shape. This design requires less effort to flatten inside the mouth, making it a great option for babies who prefer a more relaxed sucking experience.
Popular Symmetrical Nipple Pacifiers:
- BIBS Supreme: Features a wide shield with large holes to minimize skin contact and reduce moisture build-up. Available in natural rubber latex and silicone, in sizes 1 and 2.
- BIBS Infinity: With a wide shield and intricate design, this pacifier symbolizes the circle of life and is available in silicone, sizes 1 and 2.
3. Anatomical Nipple The anatomical nipple is curved to fit the baby’s palate naturally, with an angled tip for easy tongue placement. This design mimics the natural tongue and sucking position during breastfeeding.
Popular Anatomical Nipple Pacifiers:
- BIBS Couture: Features a butterfly-shaped shield with large holes to prevent moisture build-up. Available in natural rubber latex and silicone, in sizes 1 and 2.
- BIBS Infinity: Similar to the symmetrical version, this pacifier offers a wide shield with reinforced silicone nipples.
